+1 on this revert. 

I'm sorry, but it was a 'axe it' mentality based load on wikipedia because of
its unique - large data set. If the query is trash, tweak or improve it. Pull
it from somewhere else. Too many smaller wikis rely on what is already a small
set of metric data for Mediawiki. Rate limit it, cache it or allow for
disabling with a boolean switch.
